At the top of the agenda during last weekâs NATO Summit in Warsaw was Russian aggression against the West. In response to the ongoing conflict between Russian-backed separatists and the Ukrainian Armed Forces, NATO reiterated their support of Ukraineâs fight against Russian advancement in the east, and committed to a comprehensive assistance package.
But on the ground, the conflict rages on. Despite a Minsk ceasefire agreement, signed in 2014, and again in 2015, fighting continues to intensify along the contact line.
A recent spike in violence that included heavy shelling, mortaring, and small arms has made the past few months particularly bloody, with casualties becoming an almost daily occurrence. Despite a complete failure to implement any ceasefire, NATO insisted the Minsk agreement was still the way to go.
VICE News traveled to Avdiivka, the hottest point of contact in the conflict, where Ukrainian military and civilians have both lost faith in the so-called ceasefire and remain trapped in a brutal war.
US President Barack Obama condemned the “vicious, calculated and despicable” attack on 12 law enforcement officers in Dallas, which saw 5 officers killed and 6 injured, speaking on the sidelines of the NATO Summit in Warsaw. Obama stated that like most US citizens, he was “horrified” over the events in Dallas, adding that the government and the whole of the US stood “united with the people and the police department in Dallas.”
